Projects

This page contains a list of project ideas which will be suitable for students (for GSOC, internship etc.)

Projects/Features which needs contributors

RIO

Issue: https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/243

This is a new distribution logic, which can scale Gluster to 1000s of nodes.

Composition xlator for small files

Merge small files into a designated large file using our own custom semantics. This can improve our small file performance.

Path based geo-replication

Issue: https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/460

This would allow remote volume to be of different type (NFS/S3 etc etc) too.

Project Quota support

Issue: https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/184

This will make Gluster's Quota faster, and also provide desired behavior.

Cluster testing framework based on gluster-tester

Repo: https://github.com/aravindavk/gluster-tester

Build a cluster using docker images (or VMs). Write a tool which would extend current gluster testing's .t format to take NODE as an addition parameter to run command. This would make upgrade and downgrade testing very easy and feasible.

Network layer changes

Issue: https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/391

There is many improvements we can do in this area
